Last Monday, his White House spokesman-to-be Sean Spicer called social media a “really exciting part” of the job.

“I think that his use of social media in particular . . . is gonna be something that’s never been seen before,” Spicer told Rhode Island news station WPRI. “He has this direct pipeline in the American people, where he can talk back and forth.”

As for back-and-forth: Trump hasn’t held a news conference since July 27, the day he called on Russia to find Hillary Clinton’s “missing” emails.

Some news stories are entirely based on his tweets — a monologue, really, that stops and starts at his choosing.

“On the tweeting thing, let me just suggest if I might, we might as well get used to it,” Trump ally Newt Gingrich said last week on Fox News. “This is who he is, it’s how he’s going to operate ― whether it’s brilliant or stupid.”
